As the head of @nytopinion, over the past few days, I have been asked by many people about how and why the Times editorial board weighs in on political races. I hope this short video helps clarify that. Our editorial board endorsed @KamalaHarris for president on Sept. 30. We believe there is only one patriotic choice for president. Donald Trump is unfit to lead. nytimes.com/2024/09/30/opi…

There's a truth about climate change: We can’t stop it. It’s here. The only question is what we do to limit the damage. Today, my colleagues @nytopinion and I are proud to introduce "Postcards From a World on Fire," our latest major project. nytimes.com/postcards In this ambitious project, we document how climate change is having an impact on all 193 U.N. member states. These postcards tell a story about what we consider to be the most existential issue facing the planet. It is also a call to recognize we need to adapt and quickly.

One of my favorite parts of working at @nytopinion is our dedication to trying new things.

The humble email newsletter is not exempt. This week, The Times is announcing that a selection of our newsletters will soon be reserved for subscribers.

bit.ly/3jN17ly The newsletter, with us since the early days of email, has become an indispensable way for readers to connect with the people creating journalism at the @nytimes.

The Times now has more than 50 newsletters, and their readership numbers in the millions each week.

Tonight, @nytopinion editorial board is endorsing Kathryn Garcia (@KGforNYC) as our pick to be the next mayor of New York City.

The choice was an easy one.

nytimes.com/2021/05/10/opi… .@nytopinion interviewed eight candidates for the 6/22 Democratic primary and made our lists about whom we prefer and why. All of the candidates have something to offer. At the top of every board member’s list was Kathryn Garcia.

Today, the @nytopinion editorial board is endorsing @JoeBiden for president. “He has the experience, temperament and character to guide the nation through this valley into a brighter, more hopeful future.” (1/x)
nytimes.com/2020/10/06/opi… To many Americans, this choice might seem obvious, “as plain as the mask on Mr. Biden’s face,” as I write in a special edition of our Opinion Today newsletter. Still, we hope our endorsement will be clarifying to readers. (2/x) nytimes.com/2020/10/06/opi…

John Lewis, civil rights icon, sent me an essay shortly before he died of cancer on July 17. He wanted to deliver a final message to the nation and asked that we publish it on the occasion of his funeral. Today is that day. (1/x) nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opi… His aide read me an early draft over the phone, and I couldn't help tearing up, thinking of the grief I knew would soon arrive for those who loved him. We began to plan our editorial in appreciation of his life, written by the incredible @BrentNYT. (2/x) nyti.ms/39Pesoh

If you'll indulge me a thread: We’ve spent a lot of time talking about what we stand for in @nytopinion following our publication last week of Tom Cotton’s Op-Ed. (1/x) nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opi… The upheaval that followed Senator Cotton’s Op-Ed has generated a necessary dialogue about the dangers and merits of creating a forum for debate in a time of political division and misinformation.

The @nytimes editorial board tonight announced we are endorsing Senators Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic nomination for president. We hope you’ll read our full endorsement. Here’s more on why we chose these two candidates. nytimes.com/interactive/20… The @nytopinion editorial board spent more than a dozen hours meeting with leading contenders for the Democratic nomination. We understand our opportunity to endorse, a more than 150-year-old tradition, as a deeply serious, privileged one.

On Jan. 19, the @nytimes editorial board will publish our choice for the Democratic nomination for president. It won’t be the first time we’ve endorsed a candidate — we’ve been doing that since 1860 — but we aim to make it our most transparent endorsement process to date. Historically, endorsement interviews are off-the-record — meaning nothing said leaves the room, other than the board’s final judgement.

Women in states with new extreme anti-abortion laws could face legal repercussions, not just for getting an abortion but even for miscarrying or having a stillbirth. IVF and birth control may also be under threat. Here's how we know. nytimes.com/personhood.

A thread: Today, the @NYTOpinion Editorial Board launches our 9-part series on personhood laws and the criminalization of pregnancy. Couldn't be prouder of this work, put together by an extraordinarily talented team. Please read it. (1/x)
